Hi @LHOUE​ 

Could you check that the extension has the right path of STM32CubeIDE.

As you change all the personal data with XXXX I would also suspect that there are some special characters in the path, could you so also check with shorter path without special charac

Please also ensure that vcpkg has activated your environment. That tool is bundled with one of the extension dependencies and will satisfy the CMake and Ninja requirements automatically. On first use it will take some time for vcpkg to bootstrap itself and get the dependencies, it will be much faster on subsequent use.

When vcpkg is activated you will see this icon in the status bar.

HI Robotdad,

you are right my vcpkg environment activation has failed

the log is :

so my questions are :

• what is vcpkg?
• how correctly activate it?

Thanks

if you are on a secure network try to connect on a non secure one without VPN and click on vcpkg error that will relaunch the install and show errors if existing
